Wild Country Helium Friends

Item #WDC0061 | 53 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Great Gear!

By Ranked #140 - Big Wall Climbing August 25, 2011

Really like the new design - lighter, greater range, thumb loop, longer to reach deeper into cracks. Plus, the consistent 13.75 degree camming angle has over 30 years of field-tested results. New cams feel great in your hands and the camming action is smooth. I've tried a bunch of different camming devices over the years, and the new Helium Friends are the best design I've ever seen.
